I can definitely understand feeling anxious about being far from home. Will you be going with friends/your significant other? I hope so!

I know everyone has their things that help them feel...

Definitely not something from your house. It seems stuff like that goes through pretty quickly.

I know I've felt sick from not eating enough.

I went yeaaaars without eating cantaloupe (just never got around to it, heh) and I started eating it this year. I'm in Colorado and get most of my fruit from Whole Foods, so it sucked to read that...

I'm the same. I worry about others, but only if there's a chance I can catch it. I mean, it's gross regardless, but for me it's mainly a fear of me being sick.
